    Gwenith, Thanks for the referral! I checked out the site, doesn't have anything on what we are currently working on but the models are a good reference. I went to a conference last week, and it has...

    acuteobrn replied to nursey_girl's topic in Ob/Gyn

    acuteobrn replied to ClassOf2004's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think that I saw the same rates and that was for a resourse program if I am not mistaken. Good luck w/ all of that I worked in Rush's perinatal system for over a year now and wouldn't mind working...

  8. What's your craziest delivery story?

    acuteobrn replied to sierranurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, I have had more than my share of crazy deliveries. The inner city hospital where I work had several OBs that were pretty laid back about rushing in to deliver. So nurse deliveries were not...

  9. Anyone fax report?

    acuteobrn replied to RNin92's topic in Emergency

    I think I know someone who works at your sister hospital on the floor and hates it. Main gripe is the fact that sometimes by the time that she actually gets to the fax the patient is already in their...

  12. I Hate Pp!

    acuteobrn replied to nekhismom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm with you. I too can't stand working postpartum. I like the teaching aspect and all, but would never want to do it even on a semi-consistant basis. I work nights and find it very boaring, to...

  13. Choosing a specialty - website

    acuteobrn replied to KarenAR's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Interesting test. I work OB currently and that ranked #26 for me. Liked my Emergency med rotation and that ranked near last. My number one was Nuerosurgery followed by plastics. I always thought...

    acuteobrn replied to acuteobrn's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the good ideas, I will start by speaking to the HR director when he comes back from vaction (every body seems to be on vacation except me;) ) You did hit that nail right on the head...

    acuteobrn posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok so here is this situation, and I can't imagine I am the only on in this boat so any advice would be good. I was employed by a community hospital for 7 years as among various positions a tech and a...

  18. Employment discrimination?

    acuteobrn replied to acuteobrn's topic in General Nursing

    You all are right in stating that it is not discrimination, bad choise of words, I just feel that it is a select and I mean select few that I had issues with and there is much more to the story than...

    In repsonce to Imastork... I have had a midwife suggest this as well, but the House OB refussed to do it stating that a full bladder can cause problems of its own, not to mention that it wastes time,...

  20. Cord Prolapse

    acuteobrn replied to Ninet's topic in Ob/Gyn

    For regards to the cord hanging out of the lady parts I was always told to try and AVOID touching the cord as that could lead to vasospasm and cause worsening complications, and use a gloved hand to...

  21. Forced Csection??

    acuteobrn replied to L&D_RN_OH's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hmm, does sound like a HUGE amount of info is missing or protected. This story as it is told is VERY fishy! First off, I agree, how the heck would she have at least 12 hours to travel hospital to...

  22. Old School

    acuteobrn posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just wondering what kind of "Old School" practices are your units still stuck on. Take my hospital for example: Sanitary belts for c/s, which of course lands right across the vertical incision line...

  23. Premie vs. "Miscarriage"

    acuteobrn posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Now from my understanding the limit of viablity is and has been sustained at 24 wks gestation. So if you all were to have a 25 weeker come in and obviously need a c/s for a likely abrution, you all...
